Ep. 94 - To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)

4/25/2024
Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve turn to back the clock to 1985 and examine the morally gray crime thriller To Live and Die in L.A. brought to you by the inimitable William Friedkin and which stars WTP favorites William Petersen and Willem "The Hog" Dafoe. Join us as we discuss how this film inspired Steve's dad to join the treasury division of the secret service, one of the raddest car chase sequences of all time, revenge, and the gracefully synchronized movements of William Petersen who makes a strong argument to contest the "Hips" title from our reigning champion and patron saint, Bill "Hips" Paxton. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, we're playing for blood, remember? Ditch the codpiece, we're going in dry.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve spy on our tenants in a really odd flick that would have us believe Harvey Keitel was a former behavioral scientist before resigning himself to slumlord motel owner and opportunistic voyeur in 1987's Blindside. Join us as we discuss how this film will make you question whether you'll actually go blind, film production incentives offered by state, Jesse Plemons' weight fluctuations throughout his career, the evolution of movie trailers, and Liam Neeson shunning the use of restrooms. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, steer clear of Harvey Keitel's basket while imploring you dear listener to steer clear of this one altogether.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve raise the flag and welcome back not only returning champion (Ruth's) Chris from the Mount Molehill podcast but also friend of the show Miles to rap about a flick they had both recommended, can't recall who did first - Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky from 1991, a bloody kung-fu exploitation romp covered in viscera. Join us as we dive in fist first to discuss eyeballs popping, head slicing and literal gut busting practical effects that take no prisoners, the difference between flautas and flutists/flautists, the underseen horror anthology gem The Willies, the fact there are zero repercussions for getting hit in your "dead spot", and how Mortal Kombat may or may not have taken a big heaping tablespoon of inspiration. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, stand up to defend the weak, fighting back against the Gang of 4, corrupt privatized prison officials, and Heihachi on a bad batch of steroids.

Ep. 91 - Richard Chase: The Vampire of Sacramento

3/14/2024
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve take it regional and turn their sights on a series of brutal killings perpetrated close to our hometown focusing on the greater Sacramento area circa the late 1970's to revisit Richard Chase, otherwise known as the 'Vampire of Sacramento' so named due to his predilection for and disturbing obsession with blood. Join us as we discuss Chase's background and relative lack of name recognition comparative to more well known and notorious serial killers, the geographical connection between Chase and the Golden State Killer aka the East Area Rapist and Original Night Stalker, explore the age old nature/nurture debate and lastly speculate on the potential prosecution tactics we're actually seeing now relating to lack of parental intervention and the interpretations relating to the criminal liability of parents as we move into the future. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, steel ourselves once more to examine one of the most depraved figures in California history and hold on to the hope for some kind of retribution in the next life.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve tackle Thomas Harris' opening salvo in his Hannibal Lecter series of books in the screen adaptation of the first book Red Dragon directed by the ineffable Michael Mann in the form of Manhunter from 1986 starring William Peterson, Dennis Farina, Tom Noonan and last but not least Bryan Cox as the first (and some would argue best) to portray Hannibal Lecter on screen. Join us as we discuss the many incarnations of the Hannibal Lecter story and mythology across print, TV and film and the various characters and varied actors who've played them, take a look back at now antiquated grocery products, outdated forensic techniques, and learn about region-locked DVDs and Blu-Rays for Steve's edification. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, go full Will Graham to get the scent back and go inside the mind of a killer before the next full moon in order to stave off another round of grisly slayings.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve embark on a journey into the heart of darkness (and light) with a discussion centered around Fearless from 1993 starring Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez - a film that delves deep into the complexities of grief and trauma, fear and the fragile nature of human existence. Join us as we discuss the motivations of the main characters, reflect on the existential themes presented throughout, go on a quick side quest to touch on gentrification, the impending storm of cash-grab sequels namely Twisters, and last but not least annoint Shannon Sharpe as our newest patron saint of the porpoise. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, grapple with the the lack of depth and connection with our characters is this enigmatic meditation on life and death salvaged only in part thanks to Rosie Perez's poignant portrayal of grief as she shines as a beacon of light in an otherwise murky narrative.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back our favorite boils and ghoul - Naterade, Thon and Logan of the Ghoulish University podcast for our Valentine's Day special to discuss the 1993 Mike Myers banger, So I Married an Axe Murderer - a film with an exquisite ensemble cast and a smattering of all time cameos from the likes of Phil Hartman, Charles Grodin, Stephen Wright and Michael Richards. Join us as we wax lovingly about early/mid-90's film and pop culture including flashbacks to Carmen Sandiego and Beethoven era Charles Grodin, the oustanding performances of the supporting cast that really tie the room together, react to weirdest things we've ever eaten and get pissed on some good ol' ham fisted Scottish stereotypes.

Ep. 87 - Bad Influence (1990)

2/8/2024
Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve raise the flag and welcome back esteemed guest of honor (Ruth's) Chris from the Mount Molehill podcast to rap about a flick he recommended - Bad Influence from 1990 starring James Spader and Rob Lowe, a film that Chris has categorized under the sub-subgenre he coined himself "the disruptive stranger" which perfectly encapsulates the essence of the film and I'm stealing the phrase effective immediately. Join us as we dive in fin first to discuss one of the best colloquialisms of all time - in this case for the harmonica aka the mouth harp and almost get sidetracked with future plans to cover Crossroads starring Jami Gertz and Ralph Macchio. We'll also discuss the films odd similarities to I Love You Man, and touch on G-Baby's new obnoxious Tank Girl/Aquabats/Simon Birch glasses. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, ride the waves of intrigue in this tantalizing punch bowl of suspense, psychological manipulation, and moral ambiguity - just the kind of cocktail we've come to expect here at WTP. Special note - we recorded this episode the day before the terrible news of Carl Weathers' passing and we happened to mention him at the top of the episode by pure happenstance. Besides being an iconic action star in films we've all seen a hundred times from Apollo Creed to Action Jackson to Predator to Chubbs, by all accounts he was one of the great humans in the world -- thus from this point forth, he shall be posthumously recognized as one of our patron saints. So pour one out, rest in peace Chubbs - good night sweet prince. We've only just begun to live, white lace and promises baby.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve plunge headfirst into the dystopian depths of acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón's cinematic masterpiece from 2006, Children of Men - a film that explores themes of hope, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit. Join us as we discuss another Clive Owen led intrigue laden banger, this time supported by Michael Caine's burnt out John Lennon-styled hippie pot grower activist, wax philosophic about faith and chance in perpetually grey London, and finally get to the gut punch that is the conclusion of the film tempered in redemption. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, traverse a landscape where women have become infertile and the world has fallen into depravity and despair - perhaps a modern day parable about just how fragile society really is. In a world gone mad and set aflame, the porpoises might just be the only ones keeping their cool. It's called a leap of faith Jack.

1/19/2024
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again dive deep into the murky waters of cinema and surface with insights sharper than a dorsal fin as we cover The Spanish Prisoner from 1997 - a rather interesting PG entry in David Mamet's filmography that unfolds like a meticulously orchestrated symphony that'll keep you guessing, but does it hit the right notes? Join us as we discuss comedy gold by way of Ye, Steve enlightening G-Baby on "The D.E.N.N.I.S. System" and how it dovetails into this picture, the prospect of getting shanghai’ed in a foreign country, and alliteration notwithstanding, the downright diabolically discordant dialogue of this film. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, once again find themselves plunged into the depths of the silver screen. With the finesse of skilled mariners they attempt to glide through the intricate currents of this high-stakes confidence game - a mesmerizing spectacle that unfolds like an underwater chess match, where every move ripples with strategic intent and the waves of suspense lap at the shores of mystery. For any Bone Thugs fans out there, on Crossroads is it "and I miss my Uncle Charles Jones" or "Charles y'all"?

Think of it as a cultural exchange program where the curriculum includes swordplay and soul-searching. Join us as we discuss how the film attempts to contain the twin dragons of Tom Cruise's Nathan Algren and Kats -"Don't Call Me Mats" - umoto played masterfully by Ken Watanabe, the age old magic movie trope of overcoming substance addiction overnight, and finally we'll recognize Tony Goldwyn as perhaps one of the best underrated movie villains of all time?
